Dr Jones and his magical skull

Advantages: Harrison Ford

The fourth instalment in the Indiana Jones series, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, was released in 2008. This film was directed by Steven Spielberg. This Indiana Jones film is set in 1957 and sees the archaeologist and adventurer, Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford), having to contend with Soviet agents, led by Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett), who are searching for the mystical city of Akator, which is believed to be the mythical resting ...

Review of Patriot Games (Special Edition) (DVD)

Firewall

Advantages: good plot
Disadvantages: sound-track wasn't very well mixed into the film

Now the other review about this film is a tonne of rubbish. This film wasn't bad at all. I rather enjoy fims which envolve blackmail. I would recommend this film to people who like action and thriller films. Harrison Ford is a well decorated actor, from Indiana Jones to Air Force One. Which are brilliant films. He is getting rather old now, but still at his best from what i saw in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal skull. The films plot ...
...responsible for the security of the computer system of a small bank. He is very connected to his family, his wife Beth, a teenager daughter and a young son. When the gang led by the criminal Bill Cox invades his house, they force Jack to transfer a hundred million dollars to a bank account in Cayman Islands as ransom for his family.

Every now and then, a film comes along that gives disappointing results but is actually a marvellously made film, and no doubt leaves everyone involved with it bitter at the poor showing from the public to watch it and publicise it. In 2002, director Kathryn Bigelow teamed up with actors Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson to make a film based on one of the closest scrapes in Cold War history. A true story is always hard to convert into a cinematic success, ...
...Cold War, the Russians believed that the US were on the verge of striking against them with a nuclear attack. To counter this and possibly prevent it, they constructed a nuclear submarine and sent it to rest in the waters off New York, just out of US jurisdiction. Captain Mikhail Polenin was originally chosen as the man to lead this mission, and he was heavily involved with the construction of the sub and the politics and finer details of the mission. ...
